He was a writer, a metal sculptor, a chef, a salesman, truly a renascence man! He loved to fabricate! He was an entrepreneur! East Providence Welding Company, Captain Bill's Mobile Boat Repair, New York Lasagna Company, Abatecola Metal Sculptor, and Old Iron AZ LLC are a few of the companies he owned and operated with his wife.
